An Anthropometric Comparison of Current ATDs with the U.S. Adult Population.

Conclusions: The reference mass for the midsize-male Hybrid-III ATD of 78.2 kg is now the 33(rd) percentile body mass for U.S. adults, and the large-male ATD reference body mass of 102.5 kg is now the 81(st) percentile. The implications of these differences are discussed in the context of restraint system design. PMID: 23944215 [PubMed - in process]
